Method

The course is very interactive. We introduce a small number of approaches and skills used by successful private equity investees; but we spend most of the time practising applying the skills in a variety of common situations.

Participants also spend considerable time uncovering and reflecting on the gaps and weaknesses in their own business disciplines. We prioritise these areas in the course, diagnose how they can improve, and put together plans to address priorities.

Participants leave the course with a skill set that they can apply immediately, and an agreed set of steps to build the business rapidly.

Who Should Attend?

Senior teams of entrepreneurially run businesses, who are not fully familiar with all the disciplines required for success with private equity investors.

Format & Duration

The course is conducted as a face to face group with workshop style diagnosis and skills training.

The classroom course lasts 2 days, and works well with up to 16 participants.
